Been thinking for a few years about what I call the *replication ceiling*: the maximum replicability of an effect given constraints in data in which replication takes place (power, measurement error, sampling variability, etc). This leads to a maximum theoretical replicability which can be achieved.

Really interesting, brief ideas paper. Clearly relevant to treatment research-- the mechanism by which you leave an illness state is unlikely to just be the opposite of the mechanism by which you entered it (can see how this might apply to e.g. SSRIs in depression).

Anybody else worried that because of the long standing Republican war on SNAP people are going to experience painful hunger. Lets do something. @nanopharmnc.bsky.social and i are going to donate to some local nc food banks. Join us! Gonna match up to $500.

Impulsivity and neuroticism share distinct functional connectivity signatures with alcohol-use risk in youth - Molecular Psychiatry Molecular Psychiatry - Impulsivity and neuroticism share distinct functional connectivity signatures with alcohol-use risk in youth

New paper from @annierhcheng.bsky.social

using data from IMAGEN and ABCD she identifies distinct signatures of impulsivity and negative affect in youth that uniquely overlap with a neuromarker of risky alcohol use
